Socialists believe in a real try at social equality. Tankies believe you must murder people or at least ignore large amounts of suffering to force it in one fell swoop.
“tankie” is pejorative term used by fascists and libs for Socialists and Communists. the people who use the term tankie unironically often denounce many or all existing Socialist states (Cuba, China, DPRK, etc) as “authoritarian”.
No it isn’t. It’s a pejorative term for fake leftists who do not have regard for human life even though that is supposed to be the only concern they have. Sure, it might get overused or incorrectly applied on this platform. But that’s because we’ve seen so many damn true tankies.
It’s a pejorative for what you perceive as fake leftists, but in actuality are just the group of people that support the DPRK, PRC, Cuba, Vietnam, and Laos. You perceive this support as a disregard for human life, because you view these countries negatively. The actual base of what makes a tankie is support for these socialist countries, though, your opinion on them is not the definition. In any case, by your definition the Black Panther Party were fake leftists with no regard for human life:
In reality, tankies are just the socialists that support the actuality of existing revolution, the Black Panthers being predecessors to the modern tankie in America.

I repeat: You have a very warped view of what Socialists believe in.
Not a single tankie believes in utopic socialism
Of course not. But it’s what they claim to believe in.
No?

Socialists are not tankies, and tankies are not socialists (despite often claiming otherwise).

Everybody should denounce the DPRK.
I denounce every single nation state past present and future. These nations divide the working class against ourselves. Fuck them all.
Because the Capitalists and billionaires told you to?
Because I have eyes.
Really? You’ve been to DPRK? Surely you’d be able to refute these claims then.

I’m talking specifically about tankies, you know that kind of people who worship the likes of Putin and Xi and root for Hamas and the Houthis.
